Comments:

The lid is located next to the old furniture store Büker - a store that has been around since 1882.
Another cover indicating this store is also found at the site

The city of Dortmund uses manhole covers to mark very old businesses, or important historical events and buildings.

The name R.DANNHÄUSER probably indicates the advertising/design company responsible for this advertisement

PASSAVANT is a name used by the manufacturer ACO. To specify products related to drainage systems.

And also in the same city

Photographer’s Note: Dortmund has a number of manholes in their city centre, which are actually adverts for local businesses. This is for büker, a furniture merchant.
